Maybe my expectations were too high after all of the rave reviews but I was very disappointed in this recipe. I made it just as written (only subbing butter for margerine and real cheese for "processed"). Maybe those subtle changes were enough. It was way too runny to be considered a "chowder" and needed some last minute spice additions due to being bland. Nobody was wowed by this, not even my son and me who should be regulars at Cheese Eaters Anonymous. Won't be making it again.

Holy cow (ha ha, no pun intended) is this good!!! I'm not a red meat fan and my husband's not a my-cooking-fan so there were 2 strikes already against this recipe. Everyone, my husband, 3 of our kids, and myself, all loved this recipe! (Only the 1 year old spit it out - not surprising since it didn't come out of a Kix box.) I marinaded it for about 4 hours but really, the only change was that I made it stove top in a pan instead of on the grill (rainy night) so the fact that it was still good, I can't wait to actually try it grilled! Really, really worth making again!!!

What more can I say that hasn't already been said. It's a great recipe made of a combination of pronounceable ingredients. And yes, no MSG!! Made a bunch so I'll have it onhand (as to not be tempted by the packets that are sitting in my pantry). Mmmmmmmmmmm.
